An Entirely New Country: Arthur Conan Doyle, Undershaw and the Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes

by Alistair Duncan

Overview

The late 1890s saw Arthur Conan Doyle return to England after several years abroad. His new house, named Undershaw, represented a fresh start but it was also the beginning of a dramatic decade that saw him fall in love, stand for parliament, fight injustice and be awarded a knighthood. However, for his many admirers, the most important event of that decade was the resurrection of Sherlock Holmes - the character that he felt had cast a shadow over his life.

About the Author

Alistair Duncan knows his Arthur Conan Doyle stuff. This excellent observation of the -Undershaw- period of Conan Doyle s life follows his previous fine appraisal of the -Norwood- period. Duncan covers the gamut of Conan Doyle s public and private life and comments fairly on what he sees as the noble and flawed aspects of his character. --Bill Barnes, The Sydney Passengers
